Jesse Mogg believes the introduction of the National Rugby Championship (NRC) will benefit Australian rugby in the coming years.

The fullback, who is currently playing with the Canberra Vikings, heaped praise on Australia's newest rugby competition and says it has already generated plenty of positive feedback.

"The NRC has so far been great for not just the players but also the public," Mogg told ESPNScrum. "All the boys have really enjoyed the format of the competition and players have adapted well to the law variations, which is good."

Mogg is confident that the new, third-tier competition will allow Australia to catch up to other successful rugby nations which have had these structures in place for years.

"The NRC will hold Australian rugby and the Wallabies in good stead,"he said. "The timing is really good with all of the international matches and it also allows players that are in and out of the [Wallabies] side to continue playing and stay match fit. South Africa and New Zealand already have this type of competition so it's great for us to join them. It's probably taken Australia a little longer to implement this type of competition because of our large sporting landscape."
